Recipe of the week

After much contemplation on ways to spread my vast wealth of knowledge on food, I have decided to post a recipe every weekend in order to enlighten the multitudes of readers that may be lacking in the kitchen.

Trust me when I say that these simple recipes will impress even the most discerning palates and leave you looking like whoa.

So here tis...

Grilled Jalapeno with a cream cheese and sausage stuffing

Ingredients:
- 10-20 jalapeno's. get the bigger ones from the market, you'll want to stuff them as much as possible.
- 8oz philadelphia cream cheese
- 16oz sausage roll. I use Jimmy Dean, you can use whichever you prefer.
- salt, pepper, paprika
- 1 bag of shredded cheese. again, use the type of cheese you prefer.

Directions:
- remove sausage from its wrapper and place in a mixing bowl. mash it up, sprinkling the salt, pepper, and paprika in as you go.
- place bowl in microwave and nuke in 2 minute intervals. After each nuking session, remove bowl and mix the sausage around some more to evenly cook it. once cooked thoroughly, set aside.
- take your jalapeno's and cut the tops off. gut the insides out and throw them away. make sure to get all of the seeds out. set aside
- take your cream cheese and mix it into your bowl of sausage. mix it as much as possible.
- using a small spoon, begin to stuff your jalapeno's with the mix. get as much as you can in there.

Grilling:

- I use a wire mesh basket when I grill these. It allows me to prop them up vertically keeping all the stuffing inside. While they are cooking, I sprinkle the shredded cheese all over them. You literally want to coat them.
- Grill until you think they are ready. The sausage should already be cooked from the microwave so you're fine there. Just make sure the shredded cheese is melted.
